The universe is always expanding and there are many things that can be discovered in the universe. Scientists always find new things in the universe and as always everything is very far away. One thing that close to our solar system, but still far away is the star Proxima Centauri. This star is the closest star but is 4.25 light years away from the sun. This means that the nearest thing is also the farthest thing. This paper will help answer some questions about Proxima Centauri that people may…

in space by ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). It was used to gather light from cosmic objects, so scientists can better understand the universe around us. It was also a basic reflector with a 94.5 inch mirror that give astronomers a clear view of the universe in visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light. The Hubble Space Telescope works by flying around, or obits, high above earth and its atmosphere at 5 miles per second, weighs as much as…

Multiversal ethics points out how, for every possible event(creating a multiverse), there is a universe where things ended badly.
